Hawaiian Restaurants near Emeryville, CA

“Points off for rude service. The services talked to my group and I like we were stupid. We simply wanted a soda, we saw all those alcoholic drinks, we didn't want that. My fool of a beat friend gave her a tip anyway. I hope someone else will be working there next time“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Surprise discovery and a great lunch experience!
My wife and I were headed somewhere else when we spotted Ramen 101 from the road—it looked inviting, so we decided to give it a try. At first, parking was a bit tricky since it’s tucked inside a lot, but we ended up parking right in front—lucky find! A woman greeted us nearby and asked if we could buy her a drink before heading in—it was a bit awkward.
Inside, the place looked sharp—great visuals in the windows and a clean, quiet vibe. The menu offered plenty of appealing options, so we both ordered the spicy beef ramen (but mild) and an order of deep-fried vegetables. The ramen looked as good as it tasted (see the picture)—tender beef, perfectly seasoned broth that wasn’t too spicy, and the veggie tempura was impressive—especially the sweet potato slices, which are my favorite and were a delicious surprise.
The service was friendly and attentive, and the environment was peaceful, so we could enjoy our conversation without noise. The total came in under $65, and it turned out to be a really pleasant, unexpectedly great stop. We’d happily come back!“

“Came here for a friend catchup and we got seated and had a reservation beforehand.

Good:
- The ramen came out very quickly - I got the classic ramen bowl
- The portion size was good - I was very full by the end
- A nice place to catch up - it's got japanese izakaya vibes and more dimly lit

Bad:
- The soup was really salty so it felt like it was unhealthy to drink too much of it

Overall this was a solid place to have an extended catch up and the ramen was quick and tasty.“

“Incredible! The katsu chicken and crispy shrimp were still piping hot and insanely crispy after being delivered. Mac Salad and Spam Musubi also super flavourful not to mention the portion sizes. Delicious food and awesome bang for your buck“

“Super clean, very nice lady at the front cashier :), food was very fast and fresh. Loved the selection of the menu, a lot of variety and theres something for everyone! Good prices as well, especially for the area. Went here because our initial place was packed, but it turned out to be much better.“

“This place is right out of Hawaii. We had the Kalua pork hash, mochi waffles, Mac nut waffle and these see fried donuts with some kind of custard. Kids loved it, we loved it. Watched some surf videos and listened to jack johnson. Great spot and will be back“

“My favorite place to get poké in the city! If you get a large, the portion is a great value for the money.

Tip:
I always opt for the salmon (the other fish aren’t as good) and ask for light sauce (otherwise they tend to drench it in way too much sauce.)“

“Got the chicken katsu dish. Katsu is very crisp, use thigh meat, sauce is good, habanero sauce is killer, some pieces of katsu mostly breading with how thin the meat got but a large portion and so I do not feel skimped on meat overall. Steamed cabbage and broccoli provided give a nice break to the grease. Mac is on par with l&l. Would eat here again“

“Dear beautifully lady at the counter: I love you. Not just because you are beautiful...but because you make sure they don't skimp on the extra Mac salad“

“I took my fiancé and her son here, both finicky eaters, they devoured their noodles as did I! Very savory, noodles was s were the best I ever had, the appetizers arrived within 10 min of ordering! Dumplings superb! A wonderful dinner for Mothers day!“

“Amazing Poke bowls (Honolulu is my favourite!) and really great service at the Filmore location :) Bonus for their Facebook page/messaging for their quick response about a lost item!“

“Hi City Poke nails that true island flavor! The owner is from Hawaii and brings all the aloha with him — super friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly passionate about sharing good food.

The poke itself? So ono. Fresh, flavorful, and totally legit. You’ll find classic Hawaiian-style fish alongside “mainland” toppings — because, as the owner said, “you gotta give the city what it wants.” But don’t worry, purists — the foundation is all Hawaii.

It’s quick, delicious, and feels like a little taste of home“

“I got some protein or less carb version of a plate if I remember correctly.. anyhow I didn't expect my dinner to be completely devoid of any carbs. This led to a quite salty dinner which unfortunately not as enjoyable as it could have been. Otherwise pretty solid as far as Hawaiian BBQ goes.“

“Food was fresh! Service was great. The tables were clean!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“Man it was good, but how can you be a Hawaiian BBQ place without a LOCO MOCO on the menu?! That needs to get added immediately“

“Really solidly good Hawaiian food. I had family visiting from France who wanted to try Hawaiian food and they loved it! Especially high praise coming from Parisians used to amazing restaurants. It's a small place and nothing fancy but the food is really, really good. If you haven't been, you should definitely try it!“

“great food... healthy and the staff are very friendly“

“I recently had the Lau Lau…it was delicious. I need another one. I’ve been coming here for about six months now. I was a bit apprehensive due to the few complaints, so when I initially went I went in person. It’s a grease spoon hole in the wall and I love it. The Chinese food is good too. Always tastes fresh. Ordered my girls fries from here too. I almost ate them all, like y’all gotta share lol. Anyways, I gave a 5 stars. That’s rare for me. Staff is serious and nice. I appreciate their mood…no bs and good food. Keep up the good work Frannies. Thank you!!“

“Decent food, very generous portions. Both quick serve as well as a-la cart options. Even if ordering ala cart, expect some pre-prepped cold items to be served straight from the display counters. Ambiance isn't much; better suited for a takeout.“

“Amazing sushi rolls and great service. Try it. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“Got the bbq chicken and shrimp combo to-go and it's really good! Not even normally a fan of mac and cheese but this one was great, vegetables were crunchy which made for an overall balanced meal. Its quite a big portion too, could be split into 2 meals.“

“Great people, fresh ingridients, authentic taste. Love it!!“

“Good portions and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and college town feel.“

“Amazing spot! The menu was very clear about dietary restrictions, and the fact that it’s an entirely gluten free establishment made me feel very safe in ordering. Portions for the bowls were fantastic (yay leftovers for lunch the next day!), and shout out to the many dressing/sauce options available. Finding gluten free teriyaki sauce AND vegan ranch to dip their delicious cauliflower wings? A major win!
Only caveat to note is the cookie dough potion is quite small for the price, but I do love to support Sweet Loren’s when I can.
Overall, so happy to have found this spot, and will definitely be ordering from here when I’m visiting Oakland again!

Dietary restrictions: The entire kitchen is dedicated gluten free, and all their menu items clearly state dietary restriction matches. There are many vegan options to accommodate as well!“

“the food was amazing!! service was great and the food came out quick!! u definitely recommend this place!!“

“New favorite lunch place on campus! The bowls are always fresh and I enjoy the flexibility with size and ingredient options.“

“I enjoy the chicken 🐔 and Rice“

“delicious 😋 delicious 😋 delicious 😋“

“TL:DR -
I'm definitely going to go back 😀

We tried #18 (Loco Moco) and #1 (Hawaiian BBQ Mix).

Gravy (way) too salty. I'd ask for half as much.
My partner got an extra side, since the BBQ Mix was a dry rub.

Order at the counter ‼️

I had multiple issues with the touchscreen menu 💢 and then finally had to order at the counter anyway.“

“Precio justo, rica comida.“

“Consistently delicious poke! Not fancy, but always fresh and really fairly priced. I love getting the build-your-own poke bowl, plenty of sauce and flavor without being overwhelming. The spam musubis are all great too (I’ve tried the classic, fried, and spicy). It’s family-owned and operated, which makes me even happier to support them. Perfect for takeout, though I’ll sometimes dine in for lunch (just note there isn’t a ton of seating).“

“First time and it was very good light on the stomach n refreshing. I will be back and recommend it . Yum I'll be back“

“The portions were plentiful and delicious, and the clerk was very friendly. The food was very good as it wasn't very salty. Even though I changed the addition several times, he treated me kindly without his face being distorted once. It was so delicious!! suggestion!!“

“This is by far my favorite poke spot in the city. The fish is always fresh and tasty. Their portions are very tenors as well. I typically order from here at least twice a week. Both owners and their entire staff have always been welcoming and friendly to me. I would highly recommend Pokebola to anyone who's looking to eat delicious poke in SF.“

“Great people, fresh ingridients, authentic taste. Love it!!“

“Hawaii West is one of my favorite mf places in the world. Sunny, the owner/bartender doesn't got time for your trials and tribulations and you'll figure that out pretty quick. Free pool all the time, lots of places to sit and cool tf out. All the things you need, none of the frills you don't.“

“份量很多，服務親切。“
